Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the average waiting time for a GP appointment was in Denton and Reddish constituency in the latest period for which figures are available.
The requested information is not held centrally. Information on the average waiting time for general practitioner (GP) appointments at local and national level is not collected or held centrally.
The GP Patient Survey, published by NHS England, asks respondents how long it took for them to see a GP or a nurse after contacting their practice. The full set of survey releases can be found here:

The Government is committed to improving access to general practice. By 2020, everyone will have access to routine evening and weekend appointments.
